[xmca] Vygotsky Circle as a Personal Network of Scholars: Restoring Connections Between People and Ideas
P.S. Oh, yes, speaking of Vygotsky's followers and their integrative theory.
I have just been informed that the previously announced paper on Vygotsky Circle
has just been released as an Online First publication, see:
Yasnitsky, A. (2011). Vygotsky Circle as a Personal Network of Scholars:
Restoring Connections Between People and Ideas. Integrative Psychological and
Behavioral Science; DOI: 10.1007/s12124-011-9168-5
http://www.springerlink.com/content/b34101p383588v95/
The paper is quite long and fairly detailed, but the pictures, all five of them,
are really good and particularly loveable! Also, the Appendix stands out, I
guess... :)
I believe this is the first ever study of its kind that systematically
investigates the inter- and intra-group dynamics within the entire group of
scholars around Vygotsky during his lifetime and after his death. The rationale
for such study was provided somewhere else: please see discussion of the urgent
need in understanding collaborative and experimental aspects of Vygotsky & Co's
integrative science of cultural and biosocial development of mind, brain, and
behaviour, closer to the end of the paper under the section "Programmatic
Conclusion: What Needs to Be Done and How?" in
van der Veer, R. & Yasnitsky, A. (2011). Vygotsky in English: What Still Needs
to Be Done. Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science; DOI:
10.1007/s12124-011-9172-9 @

No problem.
Speaking of Vygotsky "falling out of favor in Moscow", one needs to understand
that, quite contrary to traditional fairly simplistic accounts, 1934-1936 was
truly a "Golden Age" for -- dead by then -- Vygotsky and his -- still alive --
followers: lots of stuff, including Vygotsky's stuff, was published by the
group, for Vygotsky--posthumously. The discussion of this "Golden Age" first
appears, I believe, in Yasnitsky, A. (2011). Lev Vygotsky: Philologist and
Defectologist, A Socio-intellectual Biography. In Pickren, W., Dewsbury, D., &
Wertheimer, M. (Eds.). Portraits of Pioneers in Developmental Psychology, vol.
VII, but I am not so sure about that.
Thus, Rudneva's critique, as well as the critique of several other individuals
that appears to have been directed at Vygotsky, despite appearance quite likely
targeted not the dead man, but his socially and academically successful
followers. Among others, most often several names were pronounced, such as
Luria, Zankov, Elkonin, Shif, and Leontiev. Thus, in other words, we do not
truly know what motivated these critiques and how they really affected the
carreers and, generally, the course of events back there and then, but chances
are the critique was originally meant by their authors much more socially than
theoretically. By the way, for other critical publications of that time please
see a marvelous issue of the Journal of Russian and East European Psychology
that Rene van der Veer published more than a decade ago (Volume 38, Number 6 /
November-December 2000 of Journal of Russian and East European Psychology):
http://mesharpe.metapress.com/openurl.asp?genre=issue&issn=1061-0405&volume=38&issue=6
OR http://mesharpe.metapress.com/link.asp?id=n73424205223 (both links
seem to be good, I just am not sure which one might work this time, luckily,
both)
FYI, all materials that came out in this journal have been digitized and from
January 2011 are accessible/downloadable.

Thanks for sharing this piece. I've read many summaries about why LSV fell out
of favor in Moscow, but this is the first truly contemporary (published in 1937
originally, and reproduced here) vituperative attack that lays out the
complaint.

Thanks Anton--
Bad fellow that LSV. No end of mischief, to this day.
Well, he got his just deserts. He died young of tuberculosis and totally
avoided lead poisoning!
